It's not the next great team and it's only good for Adventure Mode.

That's it explained quickly. Without replacing any Pokémon , how can I improve my team (EV training not included)?  I'll explain: The Pokémon, held item, level, gender (even though it means nothing in battling except for gender-evolves), moves, stat numbers, type(s), nature, ability, and why it's in my team.



Keep in mind I composed this team when I didn’t know much about Pokémon. So I didn’t really know about things like EVs and natures. A lot of my Pokémon probably suck. Again, I do not want to replace a Pokémon.



I have enough money and resources to change the held item or the moveset, so if you want to suggest I change an item to another item (unless the item you suggest costs BP, yeah no) I’ll be okay and I can probably change it! (The only Z-Crystals I have are the Firium-Z, Waterium-Z, and Grassium-Z.) I have basically most/all TMs and HMs you find on field, not ones from the arcade or Battle Colosseum.
